Does anyone here know of The Pin? She is great, helped me out a ton with my proposal!
www.pinpointediting.blogspot.com
I actually told her about this forum, so I think she is joining and finally starting to go online because I know her through a network of friends, lol.

These look excellent, but unfortunately they are agent blogs, and this list is for editor blogs. I would encourage you to submit them to the other list.

Sorry I am a little confused... Why is our blog classed as 'promotional'? We are editors providing tips for writers? Are not all blogs essentially promotional? Surely a post asking for copy editors must class us as an editor blog :-)

The difference is that as far as I'm aware, the other blogs all belong to people who work as editors at publishing houses, and not to people who offer editorial services in exchange for a fee. Linking to your website in this context could be seen as touting for business, and as such is not allowed here at AW.

  • Doesn't appear to be an editor and non-fiction topics only -- query help
  • Couldn't find editing here. More of an agent's site where she comments on queries.

"Preditors and Editors" is also worth a look as they list many editing services and comment on them: http://pred-ed.com/peesla.htm
